La Hacienda Links Golf Resort — Local services in San Roque

This is a truly terrible golfing experience. I had been looking forward to playing the course due to some good things I had heard from other people but they were very wrong. From the moment we arrived, the way we were treated was dismissive. Nobody wanted to help us and the waitress who served us our bacon baguette was surly at best. She almost broke the coffee cups when she slammed them down on the table. The driving range was good although paying another 6 euros for a bucket of balls when you have already paid 250 euros for the green fee is pathetic. But the worst was yet to come. The golf course is atrocious. It obviously trades on the stunning views (from holes 5 to 13) of the coastline and the Rock of Gibraltar but the holes themselves are drab and unimaginative. There is no subtlety, just a string of dull and dreary holes culminating in the 16th which has to be one of the worst holes I have ever played. Condition-wise, it was absolutely atrocious. I understand that there had been unprecedented bad weather during March but we played at a different course the next day where the condition was superb so there are no excuses. I would highly recommend you go elsewhere as the golf at La Hacienda is so poor. We won't be going back and I will let all of my friends/colleagues know that they should avoid this one...

Review updated 1/11/22 - played the heathland today, throughly enjoyed the course and the course on its own would be worth 5 stars, but feel I have to down rate my review of 3 years down to a 4 for a few reasons.

Firstly staff were a disappointing except the concierge that was brilliant but that’s were it ended, although the rest of the staff were efficient they weren’t very welcoming ie no smile or conversation. Secondly when collected buggy they had put wrong scorecard in it which we never noticed until we were halfway down the first thinking it’s no way this is a par 5 and had to rely on our own gps etc for right holes pars etc. to be Marketing as a high end venue these small things need fixed particularly more friendly staff.

Original review Nov 19-Played the links course in November and probably the best greens I’ve ever putted on and have played many great courses, stunning views and great course, restaurant although nice was maybe abit to modern, will definitely be back to play agin and try the...

This is a lovely course if you enjoy elevation changes as I do. Course was in good shape on March 1, 2022. There are definate green complexes where carts are kept out so grass is good there. I am usually a walker but took cart on this one due to green to tee distances and green complexes protection. Varied tees, a tee to fit most golfers. There were many blind shots and playing for the first time I was glad I had a cart to go ahead and look for the correct line. I booked in with a 2 ball so I had someone to play with but when I arrived I found I was playing by myself. There was a single in front of me, a single in front of him and a 2 ball ahead of that. It was unusual to say the least. They also have a great 3 month membership if you plan on extended stay. 750 euros for 3 months of unlimited golf on a championship course! Nice Condos surround the course. Nice Course, curious about the singles and 2 balls. Weather was windy, noticed a lot of wind mills around. All in all I...
